i like mine a lot. i have had them for two years and they are still in great shape. i have ridden them on a summer set up, a dry slope, and beaten the shit out of them and they are still good. they are stiff when you get them but then they start to soften up. alot of people say skate deck construction skis soak up water and get heavier, but mine havent. you should get them if its a good deal.
